A week spent trying out new stuff. My husband has been away and so I have been flying solo; always a learning experience to live life as a single parent. It makes me very grateful that it is temporary as we impatiently wait to welcome him back tonight. Meanwhile it's been a week of early morning beach walks, solitude, a decadent matinee, getting used to the cooler evenings drawing in.
The novelty of not working is really starting to hit home. It is SO different to when I had time off last year, altogether triggered by different, less happy events. This time, I am luxuriating in the fact that I have time for myself. I have made a conscious decision to cram these months full of my choices; it's all about me! Oh and them too, but in those precious hours when they are at school, I have time to fill. It's been just exhilarating! No pressure and no guilt - a revelation...
